Default Mach 1 vs Cobra

alright, i have a dillema. i'm planning on buying a mustang, but i don't know which one to buy.

i'm thinking of either a

-03/04 Mach 1
-05+ GT.
-99-01 cobra

Maybe even a 03/04 cobra, but i dont know wheter it's worth spending that much money.
I'm planning on putting a supercharger also.

If you're goal is to make power the 03/04 cobra is the best platform hands down, it has a forged shortblock to start with and can make large numbers with just a blower swap. The 03/04 is worth the extra money without a doubt. By the time u put in a forged shortblock and a supercharged on any of the other platforms (especially the 05+ platform) you will be looking at far more than what u paid for the cobra.

I say cobra if you can afford it.

if you cant then i would get a mach 1 because its a mach 1 and has the 4v as well as all the cool looks and stuff. if you cant get that it would have to be the S197 (05) GT it has the 3v which responds VERY well to mods.

1. 03/04 cobra
2. Mach 1
3. 05 GT
4. 99-01 cobra
5. 99-04 Gt

Basically like everyone already said...

03-04 Cobra > 03-04 Mach > 99/01 Cobra > 05+ GT > 2v GT
